A hike worth taking!
This was an amazing experience! The park is a must visit if you’re in Marseille and enjoy hiking. The views are stunning. Our guide Sasha was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. As a beginner hiker, this was very physically challenging/demanding; especially since our return was mostly climbing.

E-Bike Tour
We had an amazing day going through Marseille on E-Bikes!! My husband is turning 66 and I’m 64. We found it a bit challenging, but we did it! I’m so glad we did! We saw much of the city and got some exercise! Our excursion was a for hour half-day tour in the AM, and I think that is best.

Fantastic Lavender Tour with Great Customer Service
I had a wonderful experience on the Valensole Lavender Fields tour from Marseille and would definitely recommend it.
My tour happened during the heat wave, and the team was very proactive in adjusting the itinerary to an evening departure so everyone could enjoy the lavender fields in more comfortable temperatures. I really appreciated how accommodating and customer-focused they were throughout the process.
The group was small, which made the experience feel relaxed and well organized. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke English, French, and Italian. He explained the different types of lavender, how essential oil is produced, and shared interesting local recommendations along the way.
In addition to the stunning lavender fields, we visited the beautiful village of Valensole, a local olive oil producer, and even stopped by L’Occitane when we had some extra time. The lavender fields were carefully chosen, and arriving during golden hour made for some incredible views and photos, ending the day with a beautiful sunset.
Overall, it was a very well-planned tour with excellent customer service, a great guide, and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you for such a memorable day!

Loved it!
Our guide Cindy was awesome, her English was perfect and she was very nice, experienced and knowledgeable. It was just my wife and I on the tour so we had our own adventure out to the Calanques. Highly recommend the trip, the e-bikes make the biking effortless, just have to be comfortable riding on the streets beside cars.

Our guide on food tour in...
Our guide on food tour in Marseille, Inga Brown, was exceptional and made the afternoon very memorable. She gave us fun Marseille tidbits as we walked to the food spots and had such a warm and fun personality. The food spot selections were diverse and so we saw and tasted a nice range of things.

Best 1 day Cruise excursion EVER!!!
This was absolutely the best stop on our MSC cruise. So, the weather was perfect but that wasn't what did it. He took us everywhere answered all questions and had the best closest parking. My family won't stop talking about how great this was.
There is the general statement for the quick readers. We were picked up right off the ship where the buses wait. The car was wonderful the kids even discussed music with him and we were bumpin! Every place we went he had the perfect parking space and if not he found a way to get us close and be right there to pick us up. At each stop we got as much or as little time and we wanted or needed. He even responded to my messages about wine recommendations in Cassis as we shopped. I wish I could give this more stars and I could go into so much more detail but I am telling you this was the best day of our Mediterranean cruise! (and we were in the yacht club so that means something)

Top Notch Experience
Lots of walking but worth every step! We saw the highlights of the port city with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Would recommend this for an excellent overview. Our guide communicated with us before the trip and was vigilant about keeping us informed about where to meet. We were reminded to bring water because the heat was extreme. We were also taken to fountains to refill our water bottles. Highly recommend this experience.

Great way to explore the whole city
Amazing e-bike tour around Marseille! The bikes were easy to ride, making it a fun and relaxed way to explore the city’s beautiful coastline, hidden spots, and famous landmarks. Our tour guide was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Marseille. The views were incredible, and the whole experience was well organised from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see Marseille in a unique and enjoyable way!

Perfect Day with Bruno
This tour was fantastic! Bruno picked us up at the port on time and made our visit unbelievably special. We saw some extremely beautiful sites and had a one of a kind wine tasting experience. If we ever go back to this area I would book this tour again!

In-Depth Delightful Tour
Pepe had our attention upon first meeting at the cruise port in Marseille and he kept it enthusiastically throughout the day as he whisked us around Marseille and the entrance of Provence’s stunning jewel Aix-en-Provence. For the history buff there was plenty to captivate and for those who preferred to take in the sights…they certainly didn’t disappoint. This tour was amazing from start to finish. Highly recommend Pepe’s attention to detail!!

E-bikes, don't be afraid to try something new
We had a great day touring some of the city, but mostly the national park via e-bikes. Martin was patient with us as had never ridden them before and we caught on quickly. We appreciated the thirty minute break to take a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean. Not only did we see some beautiful sites, but learned something new!
